Nitra White Sesame (Safed Til)

About this item

Nutty white sesame seeds. Nitra White Sesame, or safed til, are hulled white sesame seeds with a mild, nutty flavour.

Why cooks choose it

White sesame is gentle enough to go almost anywhere. Toasted, it binds with jaggery into til ladoo and chikki; sprinkled on buns, naan and salads it adds crunch; and ground smooth it becomes fresh tahini for hummus and dressings.

What to cook with it

• Til ladoo and gajak
• Sesame chikki
• Topping for buns and naan
• Home-made tahini

How to use

Dry-roast on low heat, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes until lightly golden. For tahini, blend toasted seeds with a little neutral oil until smooth.
